Description

Cherry Skullcap (Scutellaria suffrutescens) is a long blooming native species that covers itself with small rose-pink flowers from late spring into mid-summer.  The plant has a tidy mounding habit that makes it a wonderful perennial for the front of the garden or along the edge of paths and patios.  A xeric native of northern Mexico, plant it in fast draining soils where it gets plenty of sun and heat.  It makes a great companion plant other water-thrifty (xeric) species like Ultra Violet Sage (Salvia), Moonshine Yarrow (Achillea) and Sundancer Daisy (Hymenoxys).
